Release of Fields Seen Possibly Part' of
Soviet Campaign for Peaceful Co-Existence
- "Washington U.R) U.S. of
ficials said today Russia may
have ordered Noel, Herta and
Hermann Field freed by satellite
governments as part of the
Soviet "co-existence" campaign.
, They said, however, that the
entire Field case is "so myster
ious" that nobody this side of
the Iron Curtain can be sure
why the Fields were grabbed in
the first place by the Commu
nists, held for five years; then
suddenly turned loose. Officials
anxiously await the return of
the Field family to the West to
determine the real story of their
vanishing act.
Noel, a former State Depart
ment official, and his wife Her
ta, disappeared behind the Iron
Curtain in August, 1949. They
were freed in Budapest, Hun
gary, Wednesday. Noel's broth
er, Hermann, disappeared also
in 1949 while searching for
Noel. He was freed in Poland
earlier this year : after five
years' imprisonment.

peared in East Berlin in 1950.
She was last reported in a Soviet
Siberian prison camp near the
Arctic Circle. Russia has never
replied to a U. S. note asking
for information on her where
abouts. - .
Baffled American officials ad
vanced these possible reasons
for the sudden release of the
Fields:
1. Russia may have ordered
them released as part of the So
viet campaign for "peaceful co
existence." -The Fields are
among the last well-known
Americans trapped behind the
Iron Curtain and their release
should tend to make the Commu
nist appear more conciliatory
than in the past.
' 2. The Fields may have served
their purpose, for the Commu
nists. That purpose is believed
t to have been in connection with
purge trials in the satellites in
the late 40s. " '
3. The Communist nations
may be trying to discredit for
mer Polish police official Josef
Swiatlo who defected to the
United States and disclosed the
imprisonment of the Fields. Swi
atlo had said earlier he be
lieved both NoeJ and Herta dead
and that Hermann was under a
virtual death sentence.
Officials said it is possible
the Communists have obtained
some assurances that the Fields
will not discuss their exper
iences during the past five
years how that they are free.
They also suggested the Fields
may have promised not to tell
their stories over the Voice of
America or through dramatic
press conferences.

United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) The top
question being asked today
around the White House, the
State Depart
ment and on
Capitol Hill is
this:
. "What's Bill
Knowland up
to?" .........
Bill Know
land is hand
some Sen. "Wil
liam F. Know
land, the Re
publican lead
er of the Senate. I or that job
he was hand picked by his pre
decessor, Robert A.' Taft, ' who
also used to speak harshly of
United States foreign policy. But
Taft was more gentle than harsh
after President Eisenhower, took
office. . He was counted a firm
and able administration spokes
man until he died in the summer
of 1953;
The Knowland mystery has all
hands guessing. ' Officials ply
newspaper reporters with ques
tions about Knowland's program
about as often as the reporters
inquire, and the answer is not
yet. The senator had an aggres
sive and effective record of op
posing ' United States policy in
Korea, Red China and, especial
ly, Formosa when the Congress
and White" House were Demo
cratic. 'Senator From Formosa'
Knowland's concentration on
the Pacific and Formosa caused
him finally to be referred to as
the senator from that island. But
in recent months his interest has
veered and broadened consider
ably until this week he called
for a review looking to overhaul
of the Eisenhower general policy
of peaceful existence in the same
world with the Soviet Union, if
possible. .
If there is substantial congres
sional support for that point of
view, it has not shown itself
since Knowland's latest state
ment The administration- in
stantly slapped the idea down.
Defense Secretary Charles E.
Wilson believed the choice of
fered was chill and brutal
either try to live in peace with
the Russians, if that be possible,
or have a war. Knowland, how
ever, explained that he was not
proposing preventive war.
Mystery Deepens
The Republican controlled
83rd session of Congress is reel
ing toward its final adjournment
with the Senate debating one of
its members in special session
and the mystery of Knowland's
political strategy becoming more
mysterious every day. Some
more cynical observers suggest
that' geography has something to

imply that Knowland was not
sincere in his anxiety about Red
intentions.
Knowland is a Calif ornian, as
is Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon, another young man with
equal reason to have large and
expanding political ambitions.
Chief Justice Earl Warren was
head man among Califbrnia Re
publicans until named to his
present place by Mr. Eisenhower.
The name of the new hand has
not quite emerged from the fog
and smog.
it has been argued that Cali
fornia is not large enough for the
ambitions of two able men, each
of whom reached high position
young and unexpectedly, and
each of whom might aspire to be
the state's favorite son. -View,
Probably Unjustified
This argument probably does
Knowland an injustice. But it is
a fact that he is bound by the
nature of his constituency back
home to the general trend of
Eisenhower administration do
mestic policy, whereas Califor
nia looks directly and with ap
prehension overseas to Asia
where Communism of late has
been most aggresive and success
ful. Knowland might break with
the Eisenhower administration
on foreign policy and still hold
his own or better among Calif or
nians who are sensitive to all
Asia. The vice-president is bound
to the Eisenhower party line,
foreign and domestic. If the Re
publican Senate leader was seek
ing an issue between himself and
the vice-president back home,
foreign policy would be it.
That is speculation, however,
and cannot be accepted as the
solution of the Knowland mys
term at least not yet.
